A Fresh Look. More Ways to Connect.
Have you visited St. Peter’s website lately? Our refreshed look and easier navigation offer a warm welcome and new ways to stay connected throughout the week. Read the Sunday bulletin online or find a printable copy. Watch services on YouTube through our Watch and Follow Along page, with the matching bulletin below the video and an optional side-by-side view. Make room for daily prayer with the Daily Office: read or listen to Morning, Noonday, Evening, or Night Prayer.
Take a look, explore, and share the website with a friend. A place to belong. A place to call home.
Our search for St. Peter’s next rector is underway. Our Rector Search presentation shares the life of our parish and the community that makes this a place to belong. Please watch and share it with someone who may be called to serve with us.
